Dwyane Wade the hypocrite…

After the Miami Heat lost game 2 to the Indiana Pacers, Dwyane Wade was irritated with the Indiana Pacers victory celebration.

Dwyane Wade said “I heard they wanted to be like the Dallas Mavericks, in a sense…I saw their little celebration at the end of [Game 2]. I don’t know if they didn’t expect to win, but every night we go out on the court, we expect to win.” Then asked specifically about the celebration, Wade said “They say their identity, they say they want to be like Dallas. So they celebrated like Dallas, I guess.”

After first hearing and the then reading Wade’s post game comments, I have to admit I started laughing.

Was this the same Dwyane Wade who was part of the Miami Heat celebration  before they even played a game where LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and himself guaranteed “not one, two, three, etc..[championships]” Is this the same Dwyane Wade who started strutting around with LeBron James after taking a 15 point lead in  fourth quarter in game 2 of the NBA Finals?

What gives Dwyane Wade the right to celebrate and boast and then at the same time lambaste the Pacers for celebrating a game 2 victory in Miami. This victory was much more of a cause for celebration than guaranteeing multiple titles without playing a game or dancing and celebrating a 15 point lead that your team would eventually blow.

If you’re going to complain about the way which a team celebrates don’t do it yourself.

So Dwyane Wade in this case can described as one word…hypocrite
